"A deeply disturbing book--cool, ironical, and ferocious." --Thomas Flanagan, author of The Year of the French
For several weeks in the fall of 1977, Los Angeles was held hostage by fear as the body count of sexually violated, brutally murdered young women escalated. With increasing alarm, newspapers headlined the deeds of a serial killer they named the Hillside Strangler.
More than a year later, the mysterious disappearance of two university students near Seattle led to the arrest of a security guard--the handsome, charming, fast-talking Kenny Bianchi--and the ghastly discovery that the strangler was not one man but two.
Like Truman Capote in In Cold Blood and Norman Mailer in The Executioner's Song, Darcy O'Brien weds the narrative skill of an award-winning novelist with the detailed observations of an experienced investigator to bring the story of Bianchi and his sadistic cousin, Angelo Buono, to the page. Based on hundreds of hours of recorded testimony from one of the longest and most controversial criminal court cases in American history, The Hillside Stranglers is a true crime tour de force.

Описание: Multiple killings by serial or spree killers and the mass violence seen in war crimes and other atrocities have typically been understood as discrete category types, which can foster the view that there are fundamentally different kinds of human beings, including "deviants" who are born evil and innately given to sadism or a callous lack of empathy. In contrast, this book considers the violence of these "deviants" in terms of larger questions about human violence. Therefore, in addition to describing the life histories of a sample of individual serial and spree murderers, the book includes analysis of macro-level phenomena such as genocide, mass rape and killing, and torture occurring under conditions of war, state authorization, or political upheaval. The chief claim of the book is that, given the "right" combination of factors occurring at different levels of analysis, virtually anyone can emerge as a killer or perpetrator of atrocities. While it is crucial to understand individual killers in terms of the details of their biographies, it is equally crucial to understand political atrocities in terms of the details of their histories; and to see that persons and groups are always the product of complexly interacting assemblage processes.
Описание: The three epistles of John, the beloved apostle, urge the church to love one another as God has loved them. Gary Derickson shows how these works provide encouragement for believers and warn against the rise of false teachers. Being careful to avoid speculative theories, Derickson focuses on John's pastoral concerns. He examines the Greek text in detail, interacting with the most recent scholarship, and he presents the message of these epistles for the benefit of believers everywhere. About the Evangelical Exegetical Commentary Series The Evangelical Exegetical Commentary series incorporates the latest in critical biblical scholarship and is written from a distinctly evangelical perspective. Each comprehensive volume offers an original translation and addresses biblical theology and application for each passage.

Описание: Novelist Christine Sneed writes that the stories in Darrin Doyle's new collection "are full of rich, complicated characters and unique, unusual situations. The dark humor and pathos in these highly imaginative stories reminded me of the brilliant films of David Lynch. If Lynch wrote short fiction, it would doubtless lurk in the same neighborhood as Darrin Doyle's." These five stories take us into the delusional minds of characters who are living on the edge (of society, of sanity, of presentability). Ultimately, their needs and desires feel surprisingly, disconcertingly familiar, but we're confronted in each case with an otherness of perspective that remains unsettling and reminds us of the ordinary distances between people and the difficulty of understanding even ourselves.

Описание: "This is the most insane fun I've ever had reading a book in my life. I called in sick so I could finish it."- T. Beckett Scotland, Film Producer, The Devil of Blue Mountain
You might know Joshua Warren from his many non-fiction books, including the bestselling USE THE FORCE: A Jedi's Guide to the Laws of Attraction. Or, you might know him from his frequent appearances on The History Channel, Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel and SyFy. You might even have wandered into his Asheville Mystery Museum in North Carolina. Wherever you first encountered his work, one thing is for sure, you'll never have a wilder, more hilarious, page-turning ride than with Warren's foray into fiction, THE GRINGO MANIAC MURDER SPREE.
Some call this book a work of twisted humor. Others ban it as gratuitous violence. But no one can stop reading.
The Gringo Maniac Murder Spree is the wicked, fast-paced, page-turning adventure of two delusional killers rampaging the enchanted island of Puerto Rico on a conspiracy-fueled quest . . .
Savagely killing larger-than-life drug dealers . . .
And saving the world by rescuing an alien being (the most intelligent being in the universe) held captive.
Don't worry if that sounds overwhelming. It will all make perfect sense.
This R-rated story is a colorful grab-bag of UFOs, aliens, spirits, MIB, cryptids, ESP, and a kaleidoscope of inter-dimensional phantasmagoria, capped with cold-blooded wit.
Both weird, and mesmerizing, you must read it to believe it.
